BROAN offers the widest variety of ventilation fans in the industry. For the latest high-performance, ENERGY STAR® qualified solution to today’s green building requirements, or ultra quiet operation for a comfortable environment, BROAN offers stylish options to fit any situation from a retrofit to a new build out. As the leader in residential ventilation, we will confidently meet your needs.

Air in your attic can reach 150°F during the summer, warming your home, increasing the load on your air conditioner, and adding to your energy bill. In winter, ice dams can result from poor ventilation, and moist air in the home can condense on attic surfaces causing mildew, rotting wood and wet insulation. BROAN has the solution!

It’s quite simple. You may use some rooms only briefly, such as the bathroom, as you get ready for work in the morning. Heating the entire home for this purpose is pointless. Instead, opt for spot heating, which will effectively heat the area you need – when you need it.

As the industry's leader in providing Balanced Ventilation Systems for residential construction, BROAN sets the bar in standards of innovation and excellence. We are continually seeking ways to provide the best quality, technology, style and care to our customers.

No one really talks about the waste can under the kitchen sink. It’s a necessary evil, or so they say. But that all changes with a BROAN Elite Trash Compactor.

Hello! We are planning on installing a downdraft system with an induction cook top (30"). We are leaning towards the external blower system, but are not sure what the benefits are compared to the internal model (noise reduction, space saving option?). The house has cedar siding, considering one of the answers that an external blower will affect the cleanliness of the exterior wall: how far does the blower need to be installed from the bottom of the ground? any code to follow?Thank you very much!

Thank you for your question on the model RMDD3004EX downdraft kitchen exhaust system. The two benefits of using an external blower is the possibility of having more air movement (CFM) and having the fan noise outside. We have no specific height requirement for wall mounting the external fans but we would suggest that it be high enough to clear any obstructions such as snow. You may want to check the building codes in your area for any other requirements.

Thank you for your question on the model 2736 and RMDD3604EX down draft kitchen exhaust systems. The 2736 has a built-in blower and the RMDD3604EX requires an in-line or exterior mounted blower. You cannot use the internal blower from the 2736 with the RMDD3604EX.

Thank you for your question on the model RMDD3604EX down draft kitchen exhaust system. The button that raises and lowers the unit is on top of the unit. The speed control is on the side of the unit and cannot be seen until you raise it. The installation instructions are available for download on our web site and page 11 shows the location of the switches.
